"What about the Bailong Autonomous Corps further south?" Catherine asked more in-depth: "Is there a comfortable life there like the villages and towns you said? You two are closest to each other, so you should have frequent contacts."

"Haha, it's wrong, it's not the same as us." The mayor said with a smile: "You probably haven't seen those people in the Dominion of Bailong. If you see it, you will understand. There are all kinds of weird people there. They never use gold coins, and never trade with merchants. Everything is made by themselves. Only when outsiders pass by will they occasionally exchange things with outsiders. In addition to farming and hunting, they just eat and sleep, or sit and stare blankly, and live like wild animals. No one can figure out what those people are thinking. We have no contact with those people, and they hardly have any contact with other villages and towns. It is said that they think they are not humans but dragons, so they naturally won't be too much with humans.

More contacts. However, if you are lucky, you should be able to meet a person from the Dominion these days. When the Federation was first established, they had negotiated with those people many times. In order to show that it was part of the Federation, they asked the Dominion of Bailong to send a person to station in nearby villages and towns, just like a formal diplomat. Those people originally ignored the requirements of the Federation, but the people of the Federation had been lobbying for two years in the Dominion, and they could not bear it anymore, so they agreed and sent someone to our town, and rotated every five years. When those people came here, they seemed as if they were so unlucky. Those who didn't know would probably think how terrible our town was."

"Actually, it's just like the mayor, your thoughts." Hearing the mayor's remarks become more and more dissatisfied, he began to complain. He seemed to feel how much harm the liaison officer sent by the Dominion of Bailong had caused him. Catherine couldn't help but laugh and comforted: "You talked about other cities in Neville before, don't you think it's worse than here? I think they have the same feeling."

"Maybe you're right." The mayor smiled embarrassedly, took a sip of strong wine to cover up his loss of composure, and continued to explain: "In the past few days, the five-year period has expired. They want to change people to hand over. If you want to go to the Dominion, you have to wait for the snow to stop. It's better to wait a few more days and wait for the new liaison officer to come. You will follow the previous liaison officer. But I still want to advise you. Why not live here for another six months? Three months have passed in winter. After the snow melts for another six months, it's safer to go to the Warcraft Forest. When you go in in winter, even if you are a powerful adventurer, there are not many who can come back alive in the records of your ancestors."

"Thank you for your kindness." Catherine smiled faintly and shook her head, saying jokingly: "But people who want to enter the Warcraft Forest in winter always have reasons for themselves to do this. If there is another choice, no one wants to brave the cold. Besides, those who dare to enter in winter have sufficient confidence in their strength. Just like us, no one feels that they will die in it and will never have a chance to come out again, so your kindness is in vain, haha."

The bearded mayor was also amused by Catherine's very straightforward words. Indeed, although there are very few professionals coming here, each team is relatively strong. The professions who enter the Warcraft Forest in winter are even stronger, and at least two or three legendary professionals must join in to enter. It is impossible to achieve the promotion to a legend without sufficient confidence and firm will. This kind of firmness is obviously impossible to change because of a few words from an ordinary mayor. Therefore, the mayor's kind persuasion will not produce the expected effect no matter what.

"Indeed, I have never met a professional who changed his plan because of our persuasion." The mayor rubbed his beard and smiled bitterly: "Little girl, you are really direct, but you are right. I don't understand the world of your professionals. The professionals in the town are all black iron and bronze, which is far inferior to you who can enter the Warcraft Forest. I like your straightforwardness very much. I hope you can be an exception so that I can see you when you return."

"Don't worry, mayor." In one month, Freya has obviously lost a lot of weight. I don't know if it was because of the oracle of Deniya, or the double torture of the mood and trivial matters in reality after the teacher passed away, her body shape gradually changed from oval to cylindrical, which is considered to have achieved initial results in weight loss. After adjusting her mentality for a month, Freya's mood has obviously recovered a lot, and she has restored the reserve and demeanor that a city lord's daughter should have. She nodded slightly to the mayor and said, "We have certain conditions to go in in winter, otherwise we wouldn't have rushed in recklessly."

"That's good." The mayor obviously did not take Freya's words seriously. He just looked at this unique lady who looked like a noble but was more like an adventurer. He nodded without comment. "No matter what, you can't set out in the town for a few days. There are no foreigners in the town. Most of the visitors come here to do business in the neighboring villages. There are very few people, so there are no hotels. However, there are several rooms in this tavern, which seem to be empty recently. If you don't mind, stay here. It's still clean and warm. If you don't want to live here, there will be free rooms in the town, the Dicks, the Thors and the Klins. I'll talk to them and rent a few rooms for you for the time being."

"Thank you, but there is no need." Catherine shook her head and said, "Let's live in a tavern, as an adventurer, I'm used to life in the wild environment. This place is already a very good place for us. Are there three empty rooms?"

The last sentence was obviously said to the bartender, and the bartender nodded without thinking: "There are no one in six rooms. If you want, each person can do one room, five silver coins a day, including breakfast, lunch and dinner are not included."

Catherine twitched her lips, gritted her teeth and counted out four large, five small silver coins from her purse and slapped them on the bar. She said in a low voice: "I gave you three silver coins just now, and there should be twenty copper coins to make change?"

The bartender's mouth twitched, and he looked at Catherine with a look of awe, and he hid twenty copper coins in front of her, and he couldn't bear to say anything. The bearded mayor looked at Catherine carefully wiped each copper coins into his purse, and felt interesting and laughed again, pointing to Dongfang and said, "The contact person from the Dominion of Bailong lives in the east, and is a very strange person. No, everyone there is very strange, except going out to hunt, they are in the yard.

I made some essential daily necessities by myself, or stayed in the room. If he hadn't been unable to make salt himself, I guess he wouldn't communicate with anyone in the town at all. However, those people were not only not interested in communicating with people, but they were actually quite good. If there was something important in the town to ask them for help, and when they went outside the door of their house, they said that there was no response at all, but the matter could be solved in secret soon, so everyone was very grateful to them and often sent some food to their door."

"They?" Catherine asked, "Didn't it mean there is only one person?"

"Oh, there is really only one person, but they rotate every five years." The mayor explained: "I don't know their names, so I use them to refer to every liaison officer. Each liaison officer is very good. Except for basically not speaking and not moving, if I can, it would be better if they were not so reluctant when they came here."

"Hahahaha." Catherine was amused by the mayor's strong resentment: "Thank you for your reminder. When we go to find him, would we just tell him directly outside the door? What if he is not at home?"

"Well, if they are not at home, the yard door is closed and will definitely open at home." The mayor explained: "But if you tell him to go back to Dominion of Bailong, he should have a reply. You can try it, I can't guarantee it. In addition, is this silver-haired lady a priest? I see that she has a priest's mast on her waist."

"What do you think?" Lina, with silver hair, had already devoted herself to the book, seemed to be very dissatisfied with someone disturbing her reading. She frowned and raised her head, stared at the bearded mayor with fierce eyes, and said in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

"Linna, don't do this." Catherine felt helpless about Linna's new image and persuaded: "Be polite."

"I know, I know." Lina said impatiently: "I am the pastor. Tell me quickly. If you have anything to do, don't disturb me reading if you have nothing to do."

"Uh, OK." The mayor was startled by Lina's reaction and said with a dry smile: "The town has a remote location, and there is only a temple of the Ice and Snow Goddess. The priest of the temple is a good person, but his level is really... "

"That pastor's disease cure technique is very poor." Lina interrupted the mayor's words directly and frowned and asked, "You want to ask if I can help treat some sick villagers in the town? Are you planning to change your faith?"

"No, we are always pious in our faith in the goddess." The mayor respectfully saluted the direction of the temple before continuing: "I just want to ask, if you don't use divine arts, can you provide some herbs or other treatments to help some serious townsmen with treatment?"

"I understand, it's so long-lasting. Tomorrow you find a place for them to concentrate, I'll treat you." Lina put her eyes back in the book, and suddenly looked up a few seconds later and added: "There are other sick townsmen in the town who can come over, don't wait until we leave before regretting it. In addition, if people who are inconvenient to move or who are too weak, they don't need to come over, I'll come to treat them."
